How many of you try to get to your stand before dawn?

How many of you carry a flashlight?

OFTK

I get in the woods before dawn almost everytime i hunt. If i dont i always feel like Im wasting my time, which may not be true and yes i do you a light but its a light that is built into my hat.

I get there about 30 minutes before light. I carry a small light and only use it a little bit. I think by getting in the stand too early I may just be putting more scent in the area than I need. I have been thinking of trying to get to my stand just after first light so I can see deer better and not bump them as much. My area is not easy to get to and this way I could take my time and not get busted as much.

I always get to my hunting spot before the sun get up. I carry a flashlight and normally don’t use it especially if it’s clear out and we have a good blanket of snow on the ground. That snow makes all the difference in the world for getting around in the dark with a clear moon.

sometimes before first lite. other times. [opening of gun]30 mins to an hour before. other times i wait till it just starts breaking lite before i leave the house. then during the chase fase i dont even go until 830 or so.

Always before first light and I use Cats Eyes for a light walking to and climbing up into my stand. This light is the best thing I have come across for a light source! It clips under the brim of you hat and wherever you look there is the light, hands free! Cheap too!

I'm usually settled in 15-20 minutes before first light. I carry a mini mag-lite and use it as little as possible.

I am there at 5am

i do and i do again........but i dont use the light if i dont have too...

I usually get to my stand 30 minutes or so before daylight. I usea little led head lamp. It's so light weight I almost forget it's there.
